Mountain-guide-dynasty

  • Josef Marie Lochmatter (1833-1882),
  • his best friend Peter Knubel (1832-1919),
  • his brother-in-law Alois Pollinger (1844-1910), and
  • Josef Imboden (1840-1925), a cousin of Peter Knubel,

    • were the founders of a well-known mountain-guide-dynasty. Josef Marie Lochmatter and Peter Knubel were the first well-informed Matterhorn guides and consequently the pioneers for today's development of tourism in the valley of St. Niklaus and particularly in Zermatt. They had a monopoly on Matterhorn ascents. Moreover, as the first Swiss guide, Peter Knubel climbed a mountain outside the Alps in 1874: the highest European summit, Elbrus in the Caucasus. Alois Pollinger invented the double-rope system of descent with. He used this technique with success at the Ridge of Ferpècle. Josef Imboden was the first Swiss to ascend a 6,000 meter-high (unnamed mountain) in the Himalayas in 1883, where we find the highest mountains in the world.
